Kindly help Id this tall plant at Pune again growing near a well

Again Chloris barbata

This one is Chloris virgata. The spikes do not open up and spread as in C.barbata. Also, the colour is never pinkish as in C.barbata. And it is usually found on drier habitat like on top of walls, roofs, cement, etc.
